How do you know your concrete floor needs a stain and seal?
What's on your slab now decides how much prep a stained floor needs, so it pays to spot these early, before a peeling patch spreads further.
Plain gray concrete floors
The slab is sound but looks bare and unfinished. Stain adds color without hiding that it's concrete, and waiting just means more time with a floor you don't like.
Paint or coating peeling up
Old paint or coating that flakes has to come off before stain can reach the concrete. Left alone, it keeps lifting and tracking through the house.
Oil spots and dark marks
Stain won't hide marks. It shows them right along with the color, so point them out early, because cleaning them off belongs in the prep and the estimate.
Dull or worn sealer
A stained floor that's lost its sheen or soaks up spills usually needs resealing. Waiting lets dirt and wear get down to the stain itself.
Dust on shoes and shelves
Bare concrete that leaves fine dust behind usually isn't sealed. Staining and sealing usually makes the floor easier to sweep and mop, and the dust stops piling up.
Cracks or damp patches
Cracks and damp spots change what the floor needs before any color goes on. I check for both on the visit, because stain won't fix either one.
Our stained concrete flooring work, start to finish
Stained concrete flooring in Kokomo starts with whatever is already on your slab, because stain soaks into the concrete and shows every spot, drip and patch of old coating right along with the color. So we clean the floor first, with a sander or a chemical stripper depending on what's there, then apply the stain and seal the floor as part of the same job. I'll help you choose a sealer that suits where the floor is and how much upkeep you want to take on. The price moves mostly with the floor's size, how much old paint or coating has to come off and which sealer you pick, and the schedule turns on that same prep plus drying time, which is why my estimate spells out the prep as well as the finish.
Stain is one good way to finish concrete, and sometimes another fits better. If the floor is in a basement and you're weighing more than color, our basement flooring work looks at the whole room, and if you'd like a decorative floor with chips set into it, terrazzo flooring is worth comparing before you decide.

Questions about stained concrete floors
Here are the questions homeowners and business owners ask most before staining a floor. If yours isn't here, call or send the form and ask about your own slab.
How much does stained concrete flooring cost in Kokomo?
Across the US, staining an existing concrete floor usually costs about $3 to $15 per square foot with labor included, and that's the general market range, not our price. Sealing is normally part of a staining job, so compare quotes on the full finished floor. Your own figure comes from the estimate I give after seeing the slab.
How long does a stained concrete floor last?
The stain usually lasts 5 to 20 years with regular upkeep, which means waxing or resealing the floor. Where your floor lands in that range comes down to that care, so plan on resealing as a cost that comes back every so often.
How long does staining a concrete floor take?
Staining usually takes 1 to 3 days, drying time included, so plan on the room being out of use for that stretch. On a new slab, the stain has to wait until the concrete is fully cured, so set the date with that in mind.
What is the best sealer for stained concrete?
Epoxy is the better pick for an indoor floor that takes hard wear, because it lasts longer and holds up better. Acrylic and polyurethane cost less and suit outdoor concrete, so they're the usual choice for a patio or a tighter budget.
Should I use concrete dye or stain on an outdoor patio?
Use stain outdoors, because concrete dye isn't suitable for outdoor slabs even though it dries faster. Dye makes sense on indoor floors where quicker drying helps, and outside the stain goes best with an acrylic or polyurethane sealer.
Do I need a permit to stain concrete floors in Kokomo?
